Admittedly, I am a new owner of the K3s and am still learning my way around it. I bought it mainly for use an IF radio for my DEMI 2 mtr xvtr, which I use for EME work. It came highly recommended as one. Prior to the K3s, my EME workhorse radio was a Kenwood TS2K which actually worked "fine" but as most are. I am always looking to improve my station. I used a RigBlaster as the sound card interface with the computer used. I am using the USB port for everything - audio in/out, PTT, CAT control, etc. along with some VSP software. I also run a splitter on the RX line from the EME array with one side going to the DEMI xvtr and the other to a FuncubePro+ dongle. The K3s feeds WJST and the FCD+ feed MAP65, running side-by-side. Trying NOT to drag this out too much longer, it seems to me the K3s/DEMI setup simply doesn't decode as well as the TS2K did (does?) and I'm wondering if anyone has real world experience in comparing how well the USB audio method versus the IN/OUT and the Rigblaster interface to the computer's soundcard. The FCD+ decodes MUCH better than the K3s/DEMI setup as I currently have it whereas the TS2K seemed to be better on the weaker signals. Maybe I just don't have something setup correctly.....
